Read a random definition: preventive justice

A quick definition of change in circumstances:

A change in circumstances is when something important in a family's life changes, like when a parent loses their job or gets sick. This can be used in family court to ask for changes to custody or support orders. A modification order is a new court order that changes things like child support or visitation. To get a modification order, the person asking for the change has to show that something important has changed since the last court order was made.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A change in the physical, emotional, or financial condition of one or both parents that can be used to modify a custody or support order. This change is often involuntary and can include events such as job loss, illness, or relocation.

Example: If a parent loses their job and is unable to pay the full amount of child support, they can request a modification order to reduce the payments. The court will consider the change in circumstances and may adjust the support order accordingly.

Explanation: A change in circumstances is a significant event that can impact a family's financial and emotional well-being. In family law, it is used to show the need for a modification order, which can change the terms of child support, custody, visitation, or alimony. The party seeking the modification must demonstrate that there has been a material change in circumstances since the original order was issued. This can include events such as job loss, illness, or relocation. The court will consider the evidence presented and make a decision based on what is in the best interests of the child or children involved.
